2001: No Visits.

Note1. Dean for America's Iowa
campaign was very difficult to work with. The Dean schedules seemed
to have less information on his activities in the state than other campaigns'
so that house parties and other such events are not shown. Also,
at the end of 2002 there were reports of 16 total visits but the campaign
was unable or unwilling to provide details; our 2001-02 tally shows 11
visits totalling 24 days.

wall of Gov. Dean's initial campaign headquarters in Burlington, VT shows
